History of the Origin of Satan

Brethren,

Attached please find a chart I have been working on on the history of views of the Origin of Satan. As most of you know by now, I seek to ascertain where every major established dogma in churchianity had its origen.

I am still composing my research article on this subject, of which this chart (when finalized) will be a part. In looking at the details, it becomes very clear that the beginning in history of the doctrine of the Eden Serpent being Satan was Justin the Platonist and the beginning of the doctrine of the pre-creation Satan (and the associated doctrine of God paying a ransom to the devil for the souls taken in Eden) was Origen the heretic.

More to come as time progresses, I thought some might find this chart interesting.
